Top 5 Cryptos Soaring as U.S. Government Shutdown Ends
5 Cryptos Surge as Markets Turn Bullish
Crypto markets are roaring back after the U.S. Senate voted to end the 40-day government shutdown, igniting optimism across financial markets. The return of political stability has spurred risk appetite, with major cryptocurrencies recording double-digit gains.
Here’s a breakdown of the top 5 biggest gainers over the past week — tokens that are riding the wave of renewed market confidence.
1. World Liberty Financial (WLFI) – +29.86% Weekly Gain
Price: $0.1554
Market Cap: $3.82B
WLFI takes the top spot, soaring nearly 30% in the past 7 days as liquidity returned to the market. The project, known for its expanding ecosystem in decentralized finance, benefited from renewed investor interest following the political breakthrough in the U.S. Its high 24-hour trading volume of $873M suggests strong momentum and sustained buying pressure.
2. Starknet (STRK) – +68.56% Weekly Gain
Price: $0.1853
Market Cap: $845M
Starknet is this week’s breakout performer, jumping nearly 70% in seven days. Built as a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, STRK’s surge reflects increased demand for scalable, low-cost blockchain solutions. The end of the shutdown also sparked risk-on sentiment across DeFi assets, helping Starknet reclaim investor confidence after a volatile October.
3. OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) – +20.17% Weekly Gain
Price: $8.96
Market Cap: $1.79B
The TRUMP token saw a sharp 13.7% rise in 24 hours, as U.S. political headlines dominated the narrative. With the President at the center of the deal to reopen the government, speculation around politically themed tokens spiked. Trading volumes topped $1.35B, making TRUMP one of the most actively traded tokens of the day.
4. Render (RNDR) – +28.28% Weekly Gain
Price: $2.61
Market Cap: $1.36B
Render (RNDR) also joined the rally, gaining nearly 30% over the week. The token, which powers decentralized GPU rendering, is benefiting from rising demand in the AI and 3D graphics sectors. RNDR’s steady growth highlights investor interest in real-world utility tokens, even amid broader market volatility.
5. XRP (XRP) – +6.41% Weekly Gain
Price: $2.52
Market Cap: $151.6B
XRP continues its steady climb, boosted by the improved macro outlook and strong technical breakout above $2.45. As one of the most liquid assets in the market, XRP’s move reflects institutional re-entry following the political resolution in Washington. The token remains a key player for cross-border payments and often sets the tone for correlated assets like Stellar (XLM).
Market Outlook: Stability Brings Back Risk Appetite
The Senate vote to end the government shutdown has lifted uncertainty , allowing traders to re-enter risk assets. Crypto markets, particularly mid-cap tokens like STRK and WLFI, are thriving under this renewed optimism.
If political calm continues, analysts expect this rally to expand further, potentially pushing total crypto market capitalization back toward the $3.5 trillion mark in the coming days.
